Private Kulen Mountain and Waterfall Adventure (1Day – Best Deal!)

Written By Admin

Kulen Mountain, also called “Holy Mountain” has its sacred river of a Thousand Lingas.  The mountain range is located 48 km northwards from Angkor Wat and follows a twisty road to the top of the mountain.  The mountain range stretches over 12.8km and holds a a special symbolic importance.  It is venerated by Cambodians as the site that the Khmer empire originated.

For this 1 day tour, we first begin our journey straight to the mountain with the distance about 48km from Siem Reap town. Along the way, you will see beautiful green view of the country side which is quite different from the city. We travel through this part and head off to the top of the mountain to visit some beautiful underwater carvings of the 1000 lingas that lay just beneath the water’s surface.  We continue on climbing to see a small Wat at the summit of the mountain.  This houses a large Buddha ‘Preah Ang Thom’ carved into the sandstone boulder upon which it is built.  Once here you have the opportunity to reflect and unwind with nature, as you take in the view of the surrounding forest.  Finally we walk down from the mountain top to the nearby 5 metre waterfall, where it is possible to take a swim and take a free hydro massage.  We then take some time for lunch before returning down the mountain and back to Siem Reap. Let’s us help you arranging this wonderful tour during your holiday!
